In politics, money is often the name of the game. Politicians
enrich themselves while in office, spend campaign money to finance
their re-election, and accept lucrative 'golden parachute' jobs
after leaving office. Money in Politics argues that these different
forms of capital are part of a common system and should be analyzed
in a single framework. The book advances a comparative theory that
shows how self-enrichment, campaign spending, and golden parachute
jobs are connected to each other. This theory explains when and how
money enters politics, ultimately illuminating that a change in one
form affects the other types and revealing the consequences this
has for democracy. The book uses a wide range of evidence from
countries around the world, including causally identified
quantitative studies, qualitative cross-national comparisons, and
original survey experiments. Enlightening and instructive, this
book shows that we can only fully comprehend the role of money in
politics when we view it as a common system to be analyzed and
critiqued.
